@capnthommo He’s back in court on 5th June, for harassment. And he also has future dates in 2026 for refusing to obey police instructions.
It’s in the article. I hope he gets convicted again, and again.
Guess the beard and hair is cultivated to support his ‘look how badly I did in isolation’ schtick, despite having much more privileges than most prisoners. A fundraiser is also on the go, to pay for his next court appearance….. Never misses an opportunity for another #grift.

Trump has transformed DC since his return to power is the normalization of💰making schemes that once would've generated endless pol blowback, televised hearings, official investigations & damage control. The death of outrage in the Trump era exemplifies how far he's moved the lines of accepted behavior in DC.

The NYT finally holds Trump's feet to the fire, but doesn't mention his co-conspirators: R MOC. We must amplify his #grift & waste, #austerity for Americans.

"... The Kushner fortune has multiplied nearly fourfold since trump's first election, from $1.8 billion to $7.1 billion in 2024.
...
A few days ago, a Serbian cultural heritage protection official admitted to having falsified documents to permit the demolition of the former Yugoslav army headquarters in Belgrade – a listed historic monument bombed by NATO in 1999 – on whose ruins Jared [Kushner] plans to erect a hotel."

Since he kicked off his campaign, #Trump’s empire has landed billions of dollars of deals at home and abroad. #Trump name has powered more than $10B in #realestate projects, multi billion valuation for his money-losing #socialmedia company, more than $500M in sales from just one of his crypto ventures, millions more from stakes in companies that offer #financialservices, #guns and #drone parts. #grift #graft #corruption #greed #presidency #maga #law #politics #finance archive.is/EbOpK#selection-128

“Those of us who served in the military couldn’t accept a cup of coffee and a doughnut at a contractor site because of the appearance of impropriety,” retired Air Force Colonel Moe Davis, who also worked as a military prosecutor at Guantánamo Bay, wrote on X. “Now Trump is taking a 747 airplane from the government of Qatar for his personal use … grift and corruption run amuck.”

“Trump enables crypto corruption.”

Meta’s crypto-related plans seem to center on a stablecoin used to facilitate payouts to creators on its platforms, like Instagram. “Stablecoin” is a cryptocurrency token that’s meant to maintain a stable price, but the price of crypto tokens & memecoins is, well, unstable, The tokens are supposed to provide holders with a relatively safe place to store their💰. (Doesn’t always work out.)
